Matthew Paul Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I just wanted to share a knife that I made for one of my best customers. It's got all the bells and whistles. 1095, mirror polished 5 1/4" blade 10" overall length Forged from 3/16" x 1 1/2" stock. Brass guard which was notched and silver soldered in place Brass pommel plate that was tapped, threaded on to the tang and silver soldered Brass liners Water buffalo horn scales Brass pins Vine file work on the upper half of the tang The knife started life as the forged blank in the top of this picture. And wound up looking like this: The photographs are not the best as it is difficult to take pictures in a dark shop, and it being so reflective did not help any. Let me know what yall think! EDIT: Better pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tim215 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm not fond of shiny knives, but putting that aside that is a lovely knife, any hunters dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
